Historical Revisionism

WHEN MINNESOTA SENATOR ERNEST LUNDEEN WAS KILLED IN A PLANE CRASH over Virginia on August 31, 1940, the Republican governor was able, according to the rules, to appoint a fellow Republican to fill the senator's seat. Though Lundeen had begun his political career as a Republican, he had run for office as a Farmer-Labor "Democrat" since 1933.

Governor Harold Stassen (left) had been the keynote speaker at the 1940 Republican National Convention in June that nominated Wendell Willkie as it's presidential candidate. Stassen threw his support to Willkie and even became his official floor manager. The circumstances of the 1940 Republican convention were unusual, from beginning to end.

Willkie was a New York lawyer, corporate executive, Democrat activist and 'interventionist' who only switched to the Republican party in late 1939! He had not run in any primaries but positioned himself as an acceptable choice for a deadlocked convention. Front runners for the nomination, Ohio Sen. Robert Taft, Michigan Sen Arthur Vandenberg, and New York District Attorney Tom Dewey, were all non-interventionist, as was Senator Lundeen of Stassen's state of Minnesota. The east-coast Republicans tended to be the internationalists who wanted to take sides in the European conflicts, and that's who Stassen seemed to be representing.

MY FRIEND WOUTER SENT ME THE ARTICLE BELOW ABOUT ERNEST LUNDEEN, an American “isolationist” politician from Minnesota who had a fair-minded and truth-seeking attitude toward the German-Polish conflict and the war of September 1939. Through Lundeen, I've learned about a couple others who are also of particular interest to me. Lundeen served in the US House of Representatives from 1917 to 1919, when he was one of 50 Congressmen to vote against the U.S. declaration of war against Germany on April 6, 1917. For this reason he was not renominated by his Republican party. After switching to the Democratic Farmer-Labor party, he was elected again from 1933 to 1937 in the Roosevelt landslide. He then went on to become Minnesota Senator from 1937 until his untimely death in a plane crash on August 31, 1940.

Lundeen's father, C.H. Lundeen was an early pioneer in South Dakota, where Ernest was born and raised. The Lundeens in the USA come from Norway and Austria, according to ancestry sites. Ernest Lundeen is what I would call a true American patriot.

GERMANY NEEDS TO CHANGE. That is, the political philosophy that governs Germany needs to change. The current philosophy is internationalist and guided by remembrance of WWII “crimes”, especially the Holocaust slander. The change I want to see is to a pro-German Germany, a more nationalist Germany. The new party Alternative for Germany (AfD), described as populist, can bring about this change in an unobjectionable way. Yes, the Jews will scream, the left will scream, the communists will scream – but since AfD has no connection with Nazism, since it rejects any return to National Socialism, the party is not in any way 'unconstitutional' … unless and until being pro-German (or even being German!) becomes unconstitutional.

The first part originally appeared as a letter to the editor dated 31 August, 1981, on the 49th anniversary of the eve of Germany's invasion of Poland, Sept 1, 1939. Find the German original here. This is a machine translation lovingly and carefully improved on by yours truly, Carolyn Yeager.

By Carolyn Yeager

ON THE 11TH DAY OF THE 11TH MONTH OF NOVEMBER 1918, a German government delegation led by Mathias Erzberger crossed into France and signed a cease-fire at the 11th hour in the presence of Marshall Ferdinand Foch and other French and British military commanders. Yet this is now called by official historians a German surrender.

Germany never intended to surrender militarily, but between this date and 28 June, 1919 when a peace treaty was signed in the Hall of Mirrors at the Versailles palace outside Paris, the United States, Britain, France and Italy colluded in separating Germany from her allies, bullying and blockading (starving) her into accepting unacceptable conditions of peace. They did the same with Austria and Hungary, in separate treaties.

THERE IS A WONDERFUL WEBSITE THAT HOLDS A TREASURE TROVE OF WRITINGS offering an alternative view to 20th Century German and related European history. It is called Scriptorium – your alternative history bookstore! It's not really a bookstore, but more like a library where everything can be read right there, or copied and saved in your own private digital library. Those responsible for the site are mainly German-Canadians, as I understand it, but as they say on their opening page (linked to above), the website is American-hosted. It features articles, books and brochures translated from German to English, along with a number of works originally written in the English language but which are hard to find, or have been squelched by the PC thought police. They actively continue to create new translations.

This is the conclusion of Chapter 10, titled Causes of the Collapse. Adolf Hitler criticizes the political misuse of religion by both Christian denominations, Catholic and Lutheran, and tears into the failures of the parliamentarians in the Reichstag. He writes at length about the mistakes of the German Naval policy. Then praises the three institutions that he considered the basis of the strong pre-war German state: the monarchical form of government, the army, and the civil service. He concludes by pointing to ignorance or rejection of the importance of race in the life of a nation as the ultimate reason for the German decline. He writes:

P 497 10.25 RELIGIOUS CONDITIONS

All these symptoms of decay must be attributed to the lack of a definite and uniformly accepted worldview, and the subsequent general uncertainty of attitude toward the great questions of the time. This accounts for the habit of doing everything half-way, beginning with the educational system, the reluctance to undertake responsibilities, and finally, the cowardly tolerance of recognized abuses. Humanitarian garbage became the fashion. And in weakly submitting to these aberrations and sparing individual feelings, the future of millions was sacrificed. [Exactly where we are today, and increasingly so since 1945.]

YESTERDAY I RECEIVED THIS COMMENT FROM a frustrated homeowner named Jerry. He gave his full name with the comment but I'm not going to repeat it here. He wrote in response to the article on Toms River NJ's Orthodox Jewish takeover I posted in June. Jerry said:

I live in the eye of the storm (North Dover). When I moved into my community two years ago there were NO Jews at ALL here. Since then they have totally taken over my community. The amount of government benefits they scam is legion. I am done with NJ and planning to move. I put my home on the market but I am having a hard time selling. These Jews want my home for practically free!!! The town council and mayor are bending over backwards to accomodate these aliens. Their homes receive round the clock police protection during the Jewish holidays. Infuriating! They are lobbying Toms River to pay for their kids' school busing. Of course, that will entail yet another property tax increase. The Christian schools don't get free busing! I fear that it is only a matter of time before they get it. They ALWAYS get their way! If the town doesn't capitulate they shop their case to a judge.

A NEW ARREST HAS BEEN MADE JUST LAST WEEK AND NO INFORMATION CAN BE GOTTEN from the “Secret Police” or any agencies about the reason for the arrest of Gerd Ittner, 60. It may be related to the fact that Gerd organized the remembrance rally in Dresden on February 13 that was shut down early because of an impromtu speech by Lady Michele Renouf, but that is only a guess on my part. Friends of Gerd who have sought information about his status since Saturday have not been successful.

Gerhard Ittner joins a long list of persecuted victims of the Federal Republic for the 'crime' of expressing a different opinion on the guilty parties in WWII than the official Allied narrative has it. The Allied narrative says Germany was totally at fault and committed egregious crimes; that is the narrative the Federal Republic embraces wholeheartedly, and even legally. Germany was originally forced to adopt this narrative, but now it enforces its own guilt with the greatest gusto.

Gerd Honsik is led under guard while on trial in an Austrian courtroom in 2009.

by Carolyn Yeager

GERD HONSIK, AUTHOR AND POET, PLUS HOLOCAUST AND HISTORICAL REVISIONIST who was currently being harrassed by Austrian authorities, passed away on Saturday at the age of 76. His death occurred at his home in Sopron, Hungary, right across the Austrian-Hungarian border. Gerd's death is a great loss to the revisionist movement.

Honsik was born in Vienna in Oct. 1941. (As Margaret Huffstickler informs us in the 2nd comment below, his father was killed in the war, fighting in Italy.) He was active over the years in Austria in a number of “People's Movements” and Nationalist groups including Austria's NDP party. He wrote the book Acquittal for Hitler? in 1988. After that, fleeing an Austrian prison sentence, he lived in exile for 15 years in Spain until 2007 when he was extradited back to Austria when legislation was changed in Spain. While in Spain, Honsik contributed to the magazine Halt at irregular intervals and wrote another book, Hitler Innocent?
